This capturing the fun upbeat folk rock/pop I enjoy (also see : The Tallest Man on Earth - The Gardner, Fleet Foxes - Your Protector)
Pearl Jam - Black
Because it's my favourite song - it's delicate and moving and if you get the chance to see them perform it live, it's stunning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1pJPs3fBCg
I don't think I could pick a few songs to sum up my music tastes, they tend to be all over the place. From Taylor Swift to Iron Maiden to Gemma Hayes to Paul Brady to John Coltrane to John Lee Hooker and on and on like that.
Starts off disjointed and off tempo until 1:09 when it finds its feet, but even then, the song has an unusual time signature and it sounds like the whole thing is going to fall apart at any minute.
Here are the best ( in my opinion ) of my favourite genres.
Blues(old); Smokestack Lightnin'- Muddy Waters Blues ( modern ); Hurt Like Mine - Black Keys 60s Rhythm & Blues; I Can Tell - Bo Diddley Dance- Soul ; Out On The Floor - Dobie Grey Dance - Disco; Native New Yorker - Odyssey Soul Ballads ; Walk Away From Love - David Ruffin Ska; Guns Of Navarone - Skatalites Reggae; Monkey Spanner - Dave & Ansel Collins
Westlife - When You're Looking Like That, World of Our Own, Queen Of My Heart
Oasis - Songbird
Mud - Tiger Feet
The Beatles - Twist & Shout, Please Please Me (closely followed by There's A Place)
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Not sure what that says about my music tastes, I tend to just get automatically judged because of my love of Westlife. :P I love a lot of music though, I like the variety.

I'm the same but at the moment my playlist of albums is:
James Arthur - James Arthur
One Direction - Midnight Memories
P!nk - latest one with Try on it (can't think of the album title)
Little Mix - Salute
Jessie J - Alive
Katy Perry - Prism
I did have Billy Joel on there too but took him off just after Christmas.
This time last year it was Train, Ed Sheeran, Matchbox 20 and Taylor Swift.
I also love putting my ipod onto all songs and shuffle keeps the mix interesting
Strong use of descriptive words observing the world around, dream-like, atmospheric, spiritual, soulful, self-indulgent (lol), but also with a strong sense of defiance.
It's almost above being just a song or music and more like the inner thoughts of a person's mind.
It's encouraging that it's also the first song that aliens will probably hear from our planet, as it was beamed into space to celebrate it's 40th anniversary and also NASA's 50th.
Kind of difficult to sum up my interest anything from this sorta stuff

Britney Spears - Baby One More Time / Toxic
John Mayer - Gravity
Olly Murs - Please Don't Let Me Go
